Apple and Apricot Pie with Streusel Topping

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This is a dessert for apple lovers who want to spread their wings. The addition of dried apricots adds a hint of tartness that helps to balance the sweetness of the apples and the streusel topping that are used in the pie. This is not a sweet dessert. I suspect that those of you who are fond of barely sweet European pastries will enjoy this, but if you crave sweets you'll probably be happier with an old-fashioned apple pie. This is an easy pastry to make, but the streusel topping is not the type you fling over a filling. It is more cake-like and must be chilled before it is pinched into small pieces that are used to cover the apple and apricot mixture. I cut my apples into 12 segments and I've found that that is a perfect thickness for the slices used in this pie. At the end of an hours baking, they'll be fork tender and juicy but will still retain their shape. I do hope you'll give this recipe a try. If you are not so inclined, I hope you'll at least throw some dried apricots into your favorite apple pie and see what transpires. In the meantime, here are the instructions for this pie.

Mary, Another great looking dessert...and great sounding recipe. Big Dude and I were talking about you last night over a glass of wine and we agreed that your recipes are all indeed, "One Perfect Bite"! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

Oh that I had seen this post before making my standard apple pie for Thanksgiving yesterday. But who says you need a holiday to make a pie? I predict that this will make an appearance on my table in the near future!
